The goals of the Performing and Media Arts curriculum can best be summarized as to develop students' imagination, sensitivity, theoretical background, historical and cultural awareness, as well as critical and creative skills. In the long run, the study of the Performing and Media Arts will help students work toward becoming well-rounded artists and citizens, ready to assume any role within the totality of the arts and to serve society with civic mindedness, engagement, depth of understanding and a sense of connection and responsibility in the world. The primary role of the Performing and Media Arts Staff, whether full time staff or students, is to provide support for the Performing and Media Arts faculty and students and their curricular projects. A second goal is to provide a vocational training program for students interested in acquiring practical skills in the technical, business and information services that are required to support the Performing and Media Arts curriculum and production projects.

Labs require proficiency which can be gained by being in a program, given a workshop or passing a test by EM staff.

For more information about the labs you can visit the Media Services webpage for virtual tours, equipment lists, classes, contacts and more.

Another branch of Media Services that we often work with is Media Loan. Media Loan is where students, staff and faculty can check out electronic equipment to support their academic work.

Some of the most common ways the Com Bldg is connected to Media Loan are

Students scheduling time in Com Labs (late night access).

Equipment on permanent check out to building, such as AV carts.

Audio Work Orders completed by students in recording programs

Media Loan is located on the main floor of the library. The phone number for the help desk is ext 6253. Their hours may vary so you can call or check their webpage listed below.http://www.evergreen.edu/media/ml/
